100% ESTATE GROWN, PRODUCED AND BOTTLED - NAPA VALLEY AVA
                     
Seavey Vineyard’s 2003 Chardonnay was made from grapes harvested in September from cooler vineyard blocks adjacent to Conn Creek.

The grapes were whole-berry cluster pressed and fermented in Burgundian barrels (25% new oak), with indigenous yeasts (from the vineyard) without malolactic fermentation.  The wine was aged “sur lies” in the same barrels and was bottled in May 2004 in its natural, unrefined and unfiltered state; some bottles may exhibit a slight cloudiness which does not impair the taste or quality in any way. The 2003 Seavey Chardonnay is flavorful, soft and elegant in the Burgundian Mersault style.
